My doctor, Dr Solderich, established trust, by showing up consistently, saying things and doing things that were true and non- deceptive, non-coercive, non-manipulative. Being available. Showing me she cared. Showing me she wouldn’t hurt me snd wouldn’t abandon me. She told me she could help me, which was something I wanted, then proving to me that she could help and that she would help. She showed me I was worthy of her time. She showed me that my feelings were okay to have, even when they were off the chain. She showed me that I was accountable for my behavior. She showed me compassion She repeatedly showed me forgiveness. She showed me unconditional love. She showed me that it was okay that I made mistakes, even repeated mistakes. She showed me that she about me, liked me, loved me. She taught me skills for working toward regulating my emotions. She expressed dismay when I didn’t treat my body with respect or when I put my safety in jeopardy. She expressed disapproval when I self harmed, was aggressive, intimidating, manipulative and when I threatened to give up or self-sabotaged. She taught me that my past was complicated and it was not simply my choice to act badly, but that I was acting on ineffective behavior patterns as a way to survive and to get my needs met. She then taught me that once I have this full knowledge and the proper tools to change the way I move in the world, that it is my responsibility to change my behavior patterns, learn and live by new behaviors that are more skillful. She helped me to reprogram those old tapes of “you’re too emotional,” “too scared,” “not tough enough,” “stand up for yourself,” “the world is a scary dangerous place,” “ laws don’t apply to you,” “everyone has an ulterior motive,” “you are ugly,” “you are not lovable,” “you are not wanted,” “you are a trouble maker,” “you are not seen,” “you are not heard,” you don’t matter,” “everyone will abandon you,” “ protect yourself,”… She reprogramed me by SHOWING me that that there are more positive messages that are actually true, BY THE WAY SHE TREATED ME- AND BY THE WAY SHE HELPED ME TO VIEW THE WORLD. With extreme patience and tremendous repetition, she flooded those new, more helpful messages into my soul! #Re -parenting #innerchild #CPTSD #disregulation #emotionalstorm #Therapy

I, personally, am not a fan of the magazine sized, thick workbooks which, amongst many assignments, have us keep due dilligant data on our moods/behavior, every single day. This certainly is effective for millions.
I've shunned anything resembling assinments til my daughter recently gave me a journal with a thick section of sheets /charts, all very basically drawn. They are geared torwards changing habits for the better. The "Habit Tracker" is helping me! No pressure. Note anything I want to improve upon (this month,' Morning Routines'; 'Spiritual Reading, daily; Check in with The Mighty'; arts& crafts; kneck back stretches; 1 hr of reading. ( With my ADD, I have to do the audio recordings):----then simply make a mark in a little square on the Tracking, noting "completed". I often mentioned my Zen focus; complete one task at a time, slowly and completely. Vital for me! Where are Mighties who like those thick workbooks!?😄🧡😘 What was most helpful with your needs/need? I'd love to hear!🤗💜😄🧡
